Update: Friday 17 March 2023
We have had to chase TfL for an update, but can now confirm the following:
'Unfortunately, we had to pause the work and there has been a delay to completing it. This is because of some bad weather and an incident on site when someone drove into the site illegally at high speed. We are putting in place many measures to prevent any similar issues occurring and to ensure our operatives feel safe in carrying out their work.
We are planning to be back on site tonight (Thursday 16 March) working on Thurlow Park Road between Elm Court Road and Lancaster Avenue. We are awaiting a further updated programme but our work is now likely to conclude Wednesday 22 March.
We are doing everything we can given the delays due to weather and safety concerns to complete all the works now and to prevent us having to return to site again in the future.'
We are advised the Public Liason Officers will be onsite between 7pm -10pm each evening the work is happening.
Alternatively, they can be contacted on: email: oluwakemi@firstpros.net. Tel. nos: Office no: 03330507786; Mobile no: 07539466910.
Update: Friday 24 February 2023
Following our request, TfL have employed two public liaison officers who have been out speaking with local businesses and residents closest to the work sites, yesterday and today and tomorrow (Saturday). These contacts will also be present throughout the entirety of the works, working Mondays to Saturdays. If you have any issues throughout the works please contact them direct for a quick response:
